Will Kohl's Close Stores in Montana?

The popular retailer Kohl's has announced it will be closing several locations across the U.S. However, none of the Kohl's in Montana should be affected. Kohl's currently has four locations here in Big Sky Country with stores located in Billings, Bozeman, Kalispell, and Missoula.

According to USA Today, the company will close 27 underperforming locations as soon as this week across 15 states, with the majority of those closings happening in California.

That's not all.

For those who use Kohl's as a place to return Amazon purchases, it looks like many of the Kohl's locations will scrap that service. The reason for the closings? According to USA Today, the company saw over an 8 percent decrease in sales last year and is expected to see a 2 percent decrease this year.
